Install printers using Apple Remote Desktop

Install printers with Apple Remote
Desktop

This document describes installing
printers to multiple machines on the network vi Apple Remote Desktop.
The system needs to be running cups printing software.

Using the print utility, install the
printer(s) on one machine.

Get the following files/directory from the configured
computer:
/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
/etc/cups/ppd
/etc/cups/printers.conf

In ARD, create a "Copy Items" task that includes the
cups files/directory. Place items in /private/etc/cups, on
all the machines you need.
Note: This will replace the files, and would delete any different
printers that were previously set up on the machine(s).
